Minecraft and the Enchanted Gauntlet

Chapter Two: The Enchantment Table

 Steve woke up in the morning. "Ow. My arm. It still hurts from the poison the Silking Queen gave me!" cried Steve. "We will cure it, somehow...," replied Leo. "If there is anyone we can talk to that has a cure, is, Grampa George!" exclaimed Steve. They stepped outside to visit there grandpa. "Hello, Steve and Leo. What can I do for you today?" asked their grandpa. "Don't tell anyone, especially our parents. We went to this cave a found a gauntlet. Then a crazy spider showed up and sprayed me with poison," explained Steve. "Oh, dear! I see the gauntlet of a prophecy. Now you are a prophet?" asked Grandpa George. "Yes. He is," replied Leo. "There is a secret I wanted to show you too. I have a family secret that was kept under my bed. Oh, and don't tell anyone too," replied Grandpa George. He moved his red master bed, and they saw a wooden trapdoor. "Where does this lead?" asked Leo. "You'll see in a minute," replied Grandpa George.              

  He opened the trapdoor, and they saw an iron door with a bookshelf next to the door. "We need a book exactly 1 foot long and an inch of thickness to put into the keyhole, but my chest seems empty. Know I wonder where I put it," exclaimed their Grandpa. "Will my book fit? It is 1 foot long and an inch of thickness," replied Leo. "Well, if it is, give it to me. I know exactly where to place it in the bookshelf," exclaimed Grandpa George. He placed it in a hole that could easily fit the book. Then the door opened. "How did you do all this?" asked Steve in amazement. "Well, all it is is a Redstone wire contented to the hole and it all links up to the door," he explained, Oh just to be warned, I've never touched this place in years." They started to walk in the lab. It had brewing stands, clusters of piled up bottles, and a dozen cauldrons and sinks sprinkled around the room. " Ok. So, I have a guide for making potions. The Poison resentence potion has a couple of ingredients. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the ingredients myself to make it. Here, take the book and go find these ingredients, and come back. Make sure no one is here before you open the secret trapdoor," said Grandpa George.           

 Steve and  Leo got out of their Grandpa's house and began to start a quest to gather the ingredients. "What does the list say exactly?" asked Steve. "It says we need 5 Redstone, 2 golden nuggets, 1 gunpowder, 4 ghast tears, and a melon," exclaimed Leo. "I wonder where we are going to get ghast tears from. This list is going to take a while, so we've better get started to the easiest thing on that list before the mobs come out. Let's get moving to the melon field on the farm," explained Steve. They gathered 1 melon and began to search for the next item. Leo started digging into the ground. "Why are you doing that?" asked Steve. "Well, if you'd read often, you would know that Redstone is found underground," exclaimed Leo as he swung his pickaxe to the next chunk of stone. "I hit Redstone!" cheered Leo. He got 5, and then they continued to the next item. The sky got darker, and it started to rain. "Yes, please strike lightning,'" said Leo as it rained. " Why would we need lightning? Let me guess, it's something I've should have learned," replied Steve.          

 "Why I want it to strike lightning is because if it strikes a pig, it will get mutated within the electric waves of the lightning, and turn into a zombie pigman. If we kill it, it'll drop a golden nugget. Oh, and if a creeper spawns, we can get gun powder," explained Leo. "Sweet! A pig just got struck by lightning and a creeper spawned!" exclaimed Steve. They killed the creatures, and they dropped the items they needed. "Last but not least, the Ghast tear," exclaimed Leo. Miraculously, a ghast tear just got summoned by the gauntlet. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME! ALL WE COULD'VE DONE IS ASK THE GAUNTLET, AND IT BRINGS US WHAT WE NEED?" asked Leo. "I guess so," replied Steve. As the storm cleared up, they headed back into their Grandpa's  Lab. "Oh, you guys are back? With the ingredients?" asked their Grandpa. "Yes," exclaimed Leo.        

 "Good because I was getting a little worried. I heard the thunderstorm. As they say, lightning and villagers don't mix very well," replied grandpa George.  "Less talking and more brewing you guys," shouted Steve as he got a cauldron and a brewing stand. He plopped the cauldron on the ground, and he filled it with a bucket full of water. Then he placed the brewing stand onto a table. "It's all you, Grandpa. I don't have any further knowledge of brewing," -Leo interrupted," well if you would just read for heaven sakes!" "Ok, this is where all the magic happens," exclaimed their Grandpa. He scooped up some water from the cauldron into a glass bottle. Then he placed it on the brewing stand and plopped the ingredients into the cauldron except for the Redstone. "These Redstone dust will give the cure longevity. The golden nuggets are for the strength of the potion for it to fight the poison. The gunpowder, ghast tears, and the melons with giving it it's healing property," exclaimed Grandpa George as he sturred the ingredients in the cauldron. It made a big explosion of magical mist, and the cure was done! Steve scooped up the bottle with Redstone dust into the cauldron and scooped up a bottle of cure. "We need to keep our guard up, just in case this will backfire...," exclaimed Leo.                 

  "That didn't make me feel better," replied Steve. Then, he sipped the cure into his mouth, and the cure actually worked! "My poison is gone! Thanks for helping us Grandpa!," cheered Steve. "Your welcome, but that isn't all that I have in my secret lab," replied Grandpa George. He walked up to a door. "Behold," he said as he slowly started to open the door," My enchantment table. It's something I've worked on for the past several years." "How do you make it work?" asked Steve. "Well, you will need lapis lazuli to make it work. I left it in this chest, but it seems like that also vanished!" gasped their grandpa. "Did you tell someone else about your secret lab?" asked Steve. "No, only you guys. That's very weird. Probably I left it in the brewing room, or somebody took it," replied Grampa George. Suddenly, the enchantment table sizzled and drizzled, and magical runes spat out of the book that was on the table. "Gee la wheeze! That's the galactic alphabet! Am I crazy or does that say Steve you have a prophecy to fulfill?" asked Leo. "This is also what Alex was talking about! We need to find Alex and tell her the prophecy is true and we have to fulfill it!"          

 Then the enchantment table sizzled and drizzled again, and spat out another sentence with the galactic alphabet. "It says "be careful, there is a great evil shadow lurking around to find the enchanted gauntlet, so be aware that you might be in great danger," read Leo. "Well, that sentence is giving me the Hebei jebies!" replied Steve.
